Lando Norris won the Brazilian Grand Prix from pole position in a race marked by rain, pit strategy, and driver mistakes. Norris started on pole and held the lead through mixed conditions and multiple pit stops to take the checkered flag.
Max Verstappen drove from 21st on the grid to second place, gaining nine positions in the first 10 laps in wet conditions. Lewis Hamilton also advanced from 22nd to ninth on the opening lap. Kimi Antonelli and Liam Lawson ran near the front early before Antonelli spun from the lead on lap 20 at turn one, then lost third to Verstappen on lap 25 after reporting steering issues.
George Russell ran third before the pit window but spun on pit exit on lap 17 after hitting a wet spot, dropping to seventh. Verstappen pitted again on lap 47 for soft tires and came out ahead of Russell. Rain returned on lap 59 of 71, forcing everyone to pit on laps 62 and 63 as conditions became mixed. Overtaking was disabled on lap 62 due to the difficult weather.
Hamilton spun on lap 63 while on slick tires but kept the car off the barriers and limped to the pits, losing only one spot to Charles Leclerc after the incident.
